Hello Summer

Hello crafty friends! Silvia’s here with you today to celebrate Summer with this fun card.

I started cutting a panel from white cardstock and I ink blended it on top with antique linen, tea dye and vintage photo Distress Oxide inks. I splattered with clean water, tone on tone inks and white and gold acrylic paints and I put it aside.

I cut two stripes always from white cardstock and I ink blended them with salvaged patina and peacock feathers Distress Oxide ink. 

I splattered with water, tone on tone inks and white and gold acrylic paints and I let them dry.

I then torn them by hand and I heat embossed them with a sparkle white powder to recreate the sea foam.  

I die cut all the pieces I needed to build up the shovel from colored textured cardstocks with the fantastic “Shovel and Pail Shaker” die set by Lynda Kanase.

I darkened all the pieces with kitsch flamingo Distress Oxide inks, I splattered with tone on tone acrylic paints and I put everything together with my favorite liquid glue called Crafty Gluefriend.

For the sentiment I  cut the HELLO word with one of the die that you can find in the new “Sunshine” set and I put it on the card.

I added some heart baubles from the “Sepia Heart Baubles” embellishment mix here and there and that’s all.

Thank you so much for stopping by and I hope you’ll enjoy the card as much as I do.

Have an amazing new week. Big hugs, Silvia.,
